Week 7

I am really starting to feel a draw here. The best way to describe it is to focus on my day off on Wednesday. Weird to focus on the day off, but you'll understand. I had a arrangements I had made previously and would not be able to go to my internship and I felt pulled away because of it. Usually when someone gets a day off from anything, they would be excited to not go in, not me. I had to miss court for some of my clients and I was upset because they are some that I really wanted to see. That's how I know I am really enjoying my time here at DAC. The coolest part about all of it was the fact that when I called one of my clients, she asked me where I was and that she missed seeing me there. When I first started here I thought I would be just another intern, or just another face to these clients, but I actually hold some weight with some of them. Just shows me what the power of a phone call can do.

Friday however was a horse of a different color. As mentioned before I have been working with another lawyer in the office which has been a different look at how people do the same things. This lawyer for example is a little computer-challenged and I have taken it upon myself to get her caught up. There is a program they use to keep track of how many clients they have and also used to assign them new clients. It is there job to open and close them, but this person had not done any in awhile. She had 147 clients open and when I finished with her she had 67. I have also been organizing her e-mail so she can keep track of each client a little better. Not to mention out of those 147, she had all of the files still. So, by doing one job I have created a monster and keep myself very busy. As a matter of fact I don't go to court with William as much because I am doing so much work in the office. It feels good to help get some of these people on track. Will they probably continue in their old ways, probably. But, I know I did my part to help them now.
